Fresh, high quality seafood without the fancy markup! The highlight? Choosing your own fish from the counter. How it works: 1. Order at the counter first (no numbers), then grab a seat inside or outside. The servers keep track of you, but… 2. Stay a little alert, they do sometimes mix up orders, so if your food’s taking a while, don’t be shy to ask. 3. Bread isn’t automatic, but when they bring it, it’s great (especially with their olive oil). Cash tips are preferred (and appreciated).

Omg! This place was everything!! 1st off, it’s like eating with family & there was only 2 other African Americans in the whole establishment. We drove from DC & it was worth every toll we paid! My friends and I had shrimp, scallops, crab legs, cuddle fish(A must have, the VIP of squid), lobster, seafood cheesy potatoe, rice, corn & mussels. Everything was cooked to perfect. There was a small wait, but go get a drink from the corner, by time your back, your food will be ready! I’ll be back every 6 weeks for sure!!

If you like seafood, skipping here is a huge loss. Cannot recommend this place enough—friendly staff and truly wonderful food! We’ve been here twice now and can see ourselves coming back often. The seafood is reasonably priced and perfectly cooked. I’ve liked every single thing we’ve gotten. For sides I especially love the lemony potatoes. I will say that if possible, plan to come on a weekday. There can be long wait times for seating on weekends and the place gets very crowded. I would definitely recommend eating in, though, because you can’t beat freshly cooked seafood.

An incredibly busy spot for fresh seafood. You go inside first, pick your seafood and then pay. Then you wait for a spot to clear up to sit down and eat (if you're staying). Otherwise, you can also get to-go, which was around a 10 mins wait for me at around 5:15PM on a busy Saturday. The grilled scallops were good.

Extremely fantastic, all the seafood is super fresh and very tasty. Definitely get the oysters, grilled calamari, and garlic bread.

It's interesting reading the reviews - I think if you stumbled on this place on a busy weekend, sure, you're going to be confused and annoyed. But if you're aware where you're going then it's fun, unique and awesome!! Food is great, prices are reasonable given amount you get, the seating is all over but there's sort of an organized chaos, I'd recommend avoiding weekend evenings, and coming if you're in a rush - it's a great experience!
